INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS. 113 



(RECIPE, No. 81.) 



Take— Peruvian bark, one ounce ; 

 Nitre half an ounce ; 

 Ginger, fresh powdered, half an ounce : 

 Mix, and give it in a pint of warm gruel. 



This drink may be given every other day, for 

 three or four times, or longer, if necessary ; and 

 the cure may be finished by giving him balls 

 (No. 26, p. 49), every other or every third day. 

 When improperly treated, this disease some- 

 times produces another, formerly called chest^ 

 founder, but which may be with more propriety 

 called the founder in the feet. When the in- 

 flammation leaves the body, and is transferred to 

 the feet, it is attended with considerable pain, 

 that soon terminates in the founder in the feet ; 

 the treatment of which is discussed in a subsequent 

 chapter. Throughout this disease, the stable should 

 be rather cool than warm, never exceeding sixty 

 degrees of Fahrenheit's thermometer ; the diet 

 must be warm water and mashes, tv^dce a day, 

 with regular exercise as soon as the horse is able 

 to undertake it.
